2010 / 2011 MINI Revealed

The MINI Range 2011 The MINI has had a terrific run under the ownership of BMW. It’s spawned an unbelievable number of specials and one-offs yet still seems to strike a chord in the hearts of buyers, despite its ubiquity and the arrival of challengers such as the Fiat 500, Citroen DS3 and Alfa Romeo MiTo.

2012 Ford Focus ECOnetic revealed

The 2012 Ford Focus ECOnetic raises the bar on economy & emissions With the 2011 Ford Focus now hitting showrooms and the roads, we can start to look forward to the usual ‘secondary’ reveals for the range – the ‘Eco’ and the ‘Quick’. Next year should see the launch of the 2012 Focus ST, and it will definitely see the launch of the 2012 Ford Focus ECOnetic, details of which have been revealed this morning by Ford. Building on the previous Focus ECOnetcic, Ford has managed to take an axe to emissions (cutting them to just 95g/km) and to fuel usage (Ford reckons 80mpg) which is better than any other car in its sector in Europe.

But it seemed McLaren were working on the issues with the same sort of zeal we’ve come to recognise from their F1 programme, no doubt spurred on by the wrath of Ron Dennis.
